K I might suggest something...I hope I dont get beaten with a nerfbat now

give Puppy Linux

It might have a patch or something in the kernel that allows you to use that particular laptop...

otherwise I dont know what you should do

Tempestuous... I am a little stuck. First of all, when I got to the files on my machine I realized I couldn't patch the kernal. Then I think I was able to do it on my FC4 desktop and transfer files again via CD. Then I saw your comment about checking the symlink, and I am not quite sure how to do that. Also, it seems that I don't have the make command on my computer. Can you explain how I might fix this. Again... I really appreciate your help. I haven't had much time to work on this lately, but I may get time over the next couple of days. Thanks!!

- Look at /usr/src/linux in emelfm. "File Info" should indicate that it is a link to /usr/src/linux-2.4.31 (your uncompressed kernel source).
If not, delete or rename it. Then create the correct link like this;

cd /usr/src
ln -s linux-2.4.31 linux

- Regarding the patch, save it into /usr/src. I get a little confused about p0 versus p1, so it could be either of these;

cd /usr/src/linux-2.4.31
patch -p1 < /usr/src/knoppix-kernel.patch

or if that doesn't work:

cd /usr/src
patch -p0 < knoppix-kernel.patch

- If "make" doesn't work, you may not have installed gnu-utils.dsl ... but now I come to think of it, you need gcc1.dsl as well. Sorry, it's here http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub....cc1.dsl

... and just something to consider - DSL has just reverted to the 2.4.26 kernel. You might want to consider rebuilding this kernel instead ... but I believe its kernel source needs to be obtained from the Knoppix website - http://developer.linuxtag.net/sources and this site is often down.

I have a laptop with the evil PCMCIA bridge as well. I am trying to grab all the packages and stuff I need. I have the source and headers for the kernel from the myDSL repos, also nabbed the gnu-utils and gcc1. The problem is that it doesn't seem to think I have a cc command installed. There must be an easy way to tell it to use gcc instead of cc...

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Alright got past that step.

Code Sample

ln -s /usr/bin/gcc /usr/bin/cc

That will get "make config" to use gcc by making a link from cc to gcc. Now I got to find the full source for the kernel cause it doesn't seem to like the kernelsource.dsl package.
